Nadia Meier-Kirner hat eine ungewöhnliche Private-Equity-Karriere eingeschlagen. 2006 ist sie aus dem Investmentbanking zu dem deutsch-skandinavischen Mittelstandsinvestor Triton gewechselt. Als Partnerin und Head of Strategic Investments kümmert sie sich dort heute unter anderem um Investments, auf denen Triton mit Co-Investoren zusammenarbeitet, aber auch um sogenannte Continuation-Vehikel und um die allgemeine strategische Weiterentwicklung des multinationalen Private-Equity-Hauses. „Meine Karriere ist mit der Entwicklung von Triton gewachsen“, beschreibt sie ihren Werdegang im Gespräch mit FINANCE-TV. Im Zuge der Ausdifferenzierung des Investment-Angebots sind viele der Bereiche, die Meier-Kirner heute verantwortet, bei Triton – und auch bei anderen Fonds – erst entstanden. Und auch die Investorenpflege ist heute viel anspruchsvoller als früher. Meier-Kirner: „Heute möchten die Investoren viel genauer verfolgen, was wir tun und bei welchen Deals sie mitmachen könnten. Die ‚Blind Pools‘ von früher gibt es heute so gut wie gar nicht mehr.“Doch nun existieren diese neugeschaffenen Bereiche, und damit müssen sie auch nachhaltig mit Personal besetzt werden. Dadurch haben sich für junge Mitarbeitende zusätzliche Karrierepfade jenseits der klassischen Deal-Captain-Laufbahn entwickelt. „Unser Talent Management hat sich deutlich professionalisiert“, sagt die Triton-Partnerin. „Inzwischen kuratieren wir die möglichen Karrierepfade aufstrebender Kollegen. Talent Management ist aus unserer Sicht ein essentieller Bestandteil unseres Bestrebens, zu den Besten in unseren jeweiligen Märkten zu gehören.“Welche Karrieretipps würde Nadia Meier-Kirner jungen Menschen geben, die eine Karriere in Private Equity anstreben? „Anfangs sollte man sich breit aufstellen und so viel Wissen wie möglich aufsaugen. Dann kommt die Spezialisierungsphase, aber wenn man es in eine Managementrolle geschafft hat, verbreitert sich die eigene Aufstellung dann wieder. Wer diesen Weg mit einem wachen Auge geht, wird die Opportunitäten erkennen, die sich bieten.“Was heute aus ihrer Sicht die wichtigste Grundlage für eine PE-Karriere sind und warum es für junge Investmentmanager entscheidend geworden ist, schon früh in der Karriere den direkten Kontakt mit Investoren zu suchen – die Antworten gibt es im Karriere-Talk von FINANCE-TV.

Are traditional approaches to talent management holding your organisation back?

Brice shares why it's time to stop forcing fish to climb trees and how to practically create a workplace where people truly thrive. ----more---- Key Takeaways Strengths, Not Weaknesses: Organisations should focus on amplifying people's natural strengths instead of trying to fix weaknesses. Role Alignment is Key: Poor performance often reflects misalignment between an individual's strengths and their job role, rather than incompetence.

Internal talent mobility remains a significant challenge for organizations despite widespread recognition of its importance. While companies understand the value of deploying existing talent to meet changing business needs, they often lack the scientific approach needed to make this work at scale. Many organizations collect a lot of data on people during their hiring process but fail to use it throughout the employee lifecycle, creating artificial barriers between departments and limiting career movement when it's needed most. So, how can organizations apply scientific principles to talent mobility to create more dynamic internal labor markets that benefit everyone? My guest this week is Lucy Beaumont, Solutions Lead, Talent Management at SHL. In our conversation, Lucy shares valuable insights from her work applying scientific assessment methodologies to internal mobility challenges.  In the interview, we discuss: How are we defining "skills-based hiring"? The difference between perishable skills, semi-durable skills, and durable skills The three main barriers preventing effective internal mobility Mapping skills across the organization in a scaleable way Scientific approaches to balancing build, buy and borrow talent strategies.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Anneli Scopazzi, CEO and Founder of Boulevard Recruiting. With a background rooted in fast-growth startup environments, Anneli has become an authority on matching world-class talent to the right opportunities—particularly in an era brimming with AI-driven disruption. Expect a compelling conversation about how technology is changing the face of recruiting, the critical importance of upskilling and reskilling in today’s competitive market, and what early-stage ventures need to keep in mind while scaling with AI. KEY TAKEAWAYS We work with early-stage startups, starting with series B but it’s moved down to series C when the market crashed, but we now sit in series A where we’re hoping to scale with those clients for the next couple of years to be the first recruiters on the ground, working very closely with the founders. As the companies start to scale and hire internal recruiters the we’ll work very closely with them too. Covid benefitted us in vary big way as a remote company founded in Q4 2019, I was fiercely committed to working remotely, it was the number one driver of the company, the name Boulevard was chosen because it represents remote work. When Covid happened, everyone had to figure out how to work remotely and now companies are accustomed to it and how it works. AI is something that felt scary for a minute back when ChatGPT was released and there was all this appearance of fast acceleration. But, working in tech, we’ve known this has been going on for years. I wanted to be the first to adopt and work with these early tech companies, you don’t want to be the company that doesn’t survive the extinction event if you can’t work it out. In the recruiting landscape I haven’t seen any amazing AI solutions just yet. There are some things that make us more efficient, but we’re in a bit of a safe space because of the relationship focus, which is really hard to replicate with AI technology. The more exciting thing is working with the AI companies and seeing them get funded massively. It’s an exciting space to be in. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve loved the French language and Paris since I was very young and I didn’t want to name my business after myself. What I love about Boulevard is that it’s of French origin but it’s very recognisable around the world.’ ‘What excites me about working with early-stage startups is that you have the ability to do more than you’re qualified to do.’ ‘A lot of my personal growth has been very self-taught. That’s been very liberating and rewarding but also can be very painful at times learning through mistakes.’ ‘There’s a lot of administrative work in recruiting, in-bound applications have surged dramatically in the last couple of years globally. The recruiting tools we’re seeing are sorting through profiles faster and narrowing it down to a shorter list for the human to review.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Anneli Scopazzi is the CEO and Founder of Boulevard Recruiting, a boutique San Francisco-based agency that specializes in matching startups with world-class talent in engineering, product, and beyond. She began her career in accounting before transitioning into recruiting about seven years ago, initially stepping into a 100% commission role at a boutique agency and later being recruited to Palantir. This non-traditional path enabled Anneli to grow quickly in leadership, ultimately becoming Head of Talent at Figma, where she played a key role in tripling the company’s headcount through its Series B and C stages. In September 2019, driven by her passion for connecting people and technology, Anneli founded Boulevard Recruiting—a remote-focused firm that balances expert matching of talent with a flexible work culture for its team members.
